[Presenter] Today President [Putin] has
again spoken about closer relations between Russian emigres in France and their
historical homeland.

[Correspondent] ...What does the history
of Russians abroad mean for you?

[Putin] Well, you know this question came up a number of times during our
discussions just now. The people who met here spoke about how they represent the
old Russia, emigre Russia. They would like to see a new Russia developing. I
think that a more correct way of framing the issue is as follows: there should
be just one Russia. We all want this - both those who live here and those of our
countrymen who live in other countries, as well as citizens actually living in
our country. We all want to see a Russia that is a strong and dynamically
developing country - a country which we could all be proud of. This is our
common objective, and I am sure we can achieve it.
